How would you format your script to describe a close up of something?
Would you just put CUT TO: CLOSE UP. NEW YORK LICENSE PLATE?

No, you don't want to use camera angles. That's the directors job. Instead, just do this...
EXT. CITY STREET- DAY
A RUSTY LICENSE PLATE reads
IAMCOOL
The plate shakes as the the truck it is attached to roars to life.
That's how I'd do it...

My example may be wrong, so you should probably get a couple of other opinions as well.

Two guys playing cards, here's how I would do a close up of their hands.
Person A looks down at his hand. A full house.
Person B looks down at his hand. A straight flush.
